Unfortunately it is not as simple as that. Russia has trouble with replacement officer count, especially since it drafted a huge number of conscripts in a very short time, for which they have mostly provided minimal training. To me the increase in ratio actually corresponds to what I would expect when reading about situation on front lines.

I agree about presentation, but as regards obviousness of correlation, in war, it is a tendency for sides involved to inflate other side's losses.

So a correlation between what Ukrainian officials say, and some other independent source is actually a good sign of trustworthiness of that conflict side's data, which is not necessarily true for a country in war.

Impressive indeed. For the record, Uncle Sam is pretty lenient with his taxes. For a first world country to get more than 50% of your salary in net income seems luxurious to many Europeans.

Then again, we don't generally need to save as much for medical bills, if I understand correctly.

Well, CLI is more like basic knowledge. If you know how to point and click, you know GUI. If you know how to enter, edit, move between and possibly chain commands using text entry, you know CLI.

But you don't really know how to work any actual program without learning is switches and manual.

You could argue that CLI is a skill, but nobody generally puts ability to read and write in their native language on their CVs, sorta. Rather. CLI is a basic prerequisite. IMO. at least.

Also not all defence alliances are equal.

For example, currently there is a military conflict between Armenia (member of CSTO) and Azerbaijan, as well as between Kyrgyzstan (member of CSTO) and Tajikistan (observer status in CSTO). Russia as main "security provider" within CSTO doesn't appear to provide any meaningful security for its members in these cases.
